Dear NYS Principals and Administrators,
As part of the Council for American Private Education (CAPE), we recently held a webinar on the different federal COVID relief programs, such as EANS, ARP, GEER etc.
Here is some follow up information from the webinar compiled by CAPE:
COVID Relief Bills of Interest to Non-Public Schools:
- CARES Act, March 2020 (GEER I and ESSER equitable services)
- CRRSA, December 2020 (EANS I and GEER II)
- American Rescue Plan, March 2021 (ARP EANS, ARP IDEA, ECF)
See here for a brief explanation of these programs.

Treasury Department Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds:
Interested parties are able to view how much funding went to their state, county, and city/town. Private school leaders and advocates should reach out to local leaders, as many jurisdictions have not yet decided what to do with these funds.
As always, feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
